Recently, Hollywood action star Dwayne Johnson, known for his impressive physique, actively shared a sneak peek of his leg workout at the gym through an Instagram post. This post caught people’s attention due to not only the Rock’s commitment to fitness but also the compliments given by a fellow actor since he had previously been trolled for his leg size.
The WWE Superstar demonstrated his resolve to overcome physical obstacles despite enduring four knee surgeries and ripping his quadricep from his pelvis in a wrestling match. He referred to the Bulgarian split squats as an exercise he hadn’t done in years because of past injuries. Consequently, these deep single-leg movements presented a significant challenge for the star, resulting in severe burning and discomfort.
